would you mind telling just what lighting or other tricks you used to get those pictures in your post?


I used my iPhone and had a reading lamp about a foot away. in order to eliminate glare I tilted the coin very slightly until the glare was eliminated as much as possible (notice the holder that its propped up on). I pulled the phone back until it appeared that everything was sharp then edited the photo by cropping it which resulting in a larger photo then adjusted light, contrast etc to get the sharpest look you see

I thought it was a solid 65 and the only thing I can see that would hold it back would be small marks on the chin. keep in mind that 66 still has minor flaws otherwise it would be 68 or higher so the question becomes how much will they allow. this one will be going in to PCGS as the difference between 65 and 66 is a good amount

It's hard, Liberty is a bit lower than the Eagle, can I say 65/66.

Either way that is a darn stunning coin.
Rest in Peace

Easy MS65 and I agree the contact on the chin/ lower jaw may keep it from going 66.

this one is off to PCGS for grading with about 20 other coins. I've never submitted before but I'm preparing to sell my collection and my better pieces need to professionally graded. i'll be posting them as they come in and probably will list them in FOR SALE forum so that members have the first shot at them.

@Panzaldi, do you have a general idea of when you'll start listing them? I want to keep my eye on the BST section . Hoping to buy a few!
